    Tasty Wedding Cake

    We booked our wedding cake through our vendor which provided us with a great package. They were able to work with our flower vendor to complete the look and everything turned out beautiful and tasty!

    ‘All about the cake’ team started out with a nice tasting to pick out the filling and cake flavors. It would’ve been nice to take a couple of friends or family members but that’s ok, they made it very intimate for just the two of us.

    We can’t wait to come back for our complimentary 1-year cake!

    Best Wedding Cake!

    It's All About the Cake in Dana Point nailed our wedding cake and mini desserts! Scheduling a tasting with them was so easy and they made the whole process enjoyable. The cake and mini desserts were so delicious!

    Great quality and service

    I thoroughly enjoyed the cake tasting process of wedding planning! The service and quality were top notch! I love the freedom and flexibility we were offered when it came to picking and choosing our cake flavors and mini dessert assortments! My only downfall was I didn’t get any mini desserts at my wedding because my guests ate them all!

    Everyone loved it!!

    They nailed our cake - the taste was even better than the tasting, and the design was spot on to what we asked for. They are worth every penny, and do incredible work.

    Let Them Eat Delicious Cake!

    Ana and Colleen were so wonderful to work with. We met Ana the day of our tasting. She was very sweet and explained the process to us. It’s All About The Cake hosts the tasting at their cafe in Dana Point right by the harbor which is a beautiful location. They offer you champagne and bring the cake samples out to you so it is a very indulgent and fun experience! Most importantly, the cake is absolutely DELICIOUS! My Groom and I chose three flavors, one for each layer - vanilla cake with vanilla pastry cream and lemon curd filling, strawberry cake with strawberry pastry cream filling, and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. Leading up to the wedding, I changed my mind several times on what type of design I wanted for the cake. No matter how many times I changed it, Colleen and Ana were very patient with me and accommodating. They thought of everything, including asking me how large my cake topper was, so they could make sure it would fit. The day of my wedding, they delivered the cake on time and it was exactly what I asked for. All of my guests were raving about how delicious the cake was. It was so good, I had my venue pack up the leftovers so we could take it home! I would highly recommend It’s All About The Cake.

    Fantastic!

    It's All About the Cake is Talega Golf Club's partner when it comes to wedding cakes, so after booking with Talega for our wedding this year, we worked with this vendor as well. The cake tasting was a great experience with Colleen, and my (now) husband and I were excited to have awesome cake on our wedding day. We selected vanilla cake with chocolate ganache and Oreo mousse for two of the layers, and the 3rd layer was strawberry shortcake. Our guests raved about the delicious cake, especially the chocolate ganache and Oreo mousse, and the decorations were exactly like the photo sample that I provided. Even though we used artificial flowers and garlands, the end result was better than I would've expected. Thank you team, for the great service and fantastic quality of the cake. We're excited to order our complimentary one-year anniversary cake next year!

    Endless Possibilities

    My husband and I walked into our cake tasting appointment with absolutely no expectations but walked away more excited about our cake than any other wedding plans! Our cake options seemed only as limited as the combinations we could think of. In the end, my husband and I were able to put together some of the most amazing cakes that our guests were praising afterward! We highly recommend It's All About the Cake!

    Guests could not wait for the cake!

    Absolute stunning, and very tasty cake! When meeting with It’s All about the Cake we were able to create a unique and well-liked cake. We chose a three-tier buttercream frosted cake with three different layers of chocolate with raspberry preserves, vanilla with green tea crème and lemon curd crème, and vanilla with Italian rum crème. When cake tasting we were able to take our time and contemplate different flavors, try new ones, and retaste some creations to make sure we left with a dreamy wedding cake. When it came to the wedding toppers, I found online a cute animal couple and asked for them to replicate it. They made it even better! I was able to save those toppers and place on my shelf to admire. You will not be disappointed, we highly recommend It’s All About the Cake!

    Amazing cake taste and decor!

    We searched endlessly for cake shops until we came across two places that offered gluten free cakes. After doing a tasting, we had no doubt that we had to go with them. Their cake was super moist and tasted just like a regular cake, something that I really miss. We were instantly in love! My husband and I are obsessed with cake. They were very knowledgeable and that eased our minds since we were coming from Chicago. We had a three tier cake with raspberry, lemon, and strawberries & cream. Our guests had great things to say about it. It was beautifully decorated too! Another thing that we really liked was that we did not have to freeze our top tier as they provide a complimentary one on our anniversary. We cannot wait to enjoy their cake again when we head to California for our anniversary!

    Best cake of my life

    My entire experience with It's All About The Cake was amazing. At our tasting, we were able to choose exactly what we wanted from the frosting to the cake flavor. Retasted flavors as needed! Their customer service, even on a busy day, was outstanding. I mentioned my ideas for the look of my cake, and they ran with it. My cake was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this bakery for any occasion!

    Most Beautiful Cake You Could Imagine

    I asked them if they could make a cake with just a picture. They made it better then the picture. Everything was edible except the starfish topper on top. We had 3 layers carrot, chocolate with bavarian cream and white cake with fresh strawberries. The shells and starfish on the cake were made out of white chocolate. YUM YUM!! All the cakes were moist and delicious. We had our wedding and reception in Dana Point on June 15th, and as you might guess, we had a ocean theme. The cake was the center of attention until we arrived. The cake was delivered while we were at the ceremony. When I saw the cake I got tears in my eyes. It was absolutely beautiful. Thank you to everyone at It's All About the Cake for making our special day even more special with your awesome skills. We will never forget you.

    I Will Be Dreaming About That Cake Forever!

    We ordered a two-tier cake that turned out beautifully! We ordered a cake with buttercream icing. It had an off-white layer decorated with a hobnail pattern and a pale blue layer with a fondant navy bow. One layer was chocolate with an orange ganache filling. The other layer was a white cake with lemon and raspberry filling. Both flavors were amazing and the cake was moist! Our guests are still talking about our delicious wedding cake. The bakery was responsive to our questions and accepted our photographs and input as we had a destination wedding and could not visit beforehand. We highly recommend this bakery!

    It's All About The Cake's reply:

    Hello Shannon!

    Congratulations! We loved working with you on your beautiful 2-tier cake. The hobnail design with the pale blue and navy blue bow turned out amazing! We are so happy you feel the same way. We feel so blessed to be apart of your special day. Thank you again.

    Cakes for those with allergies

    I have a severe peanut/nut allergy and couldn't find any vendors in the area I was getting married in that could cater to my allergy. Colleen took our order for four cakes with simple, elegant decor and guaranteed my safety. I highly recommend All About the Cake for any occasion, but especially for those with allergies. We have had birthday cakes and desserts from them in the past, but this was definitely the biggest order we placed with them. We were very sad to finish our cake, but we are looking forward to ordering more in the future!

    It's All About The Cake's reply:

    Hi Jenna!
    Thank you so much for posting on Wedding Wire. We love hearing about our happy couples experiences. Don't forget you get a complimentary cake to celebrate with next year. You can call the shop to order. Thank you again!

    They were amazing!

    It's All About The Cake did an amazing job on our wedding cake, we knew immediately from our cake tasting that it was the perfect flavor for everyone (vanilla buttercream cake with raspberry and chocolate filling - AMAZING). On our wedding day we were so grateful to have a delicious dessert to share with our family and friends. Will definitely be ordering future event desserts, birthday cakes, etc. from It's All About The Cake!

    This little bake shop was perfect for our wedding. We had a great tasting with dozens of flavor options that were all delicious. We chose to do a cutting cake and cupcakes and we did the chocolate cupcakes and the lemon cupcakes. I usually don't like lemon desserts, but these were so good we ended up getting them! They even have gluten free options that were really good and appreciated by our GF guests.

    The design was simple and classic, which is exactly what we wanted and it looked beautiful with our flowers and greenery from Wildflower San Clemente.

    The entire process was seamless from start to finish and guests were in love with the cupcakes!

    So Delicious

    The most amazing cakes. They were so accommodating for the tasting and have the most delicious cake. Easy, stress-free booking and on time delivery! It was a beautiful cake and so good. Our guests keep commenting on how it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. Especially because we ended up with different flavor of cake every layer because my grandma and I couldn't make up our minds! It all delicious!

    My husband and I were married at The Villa SJC this spring and It’s All About the Cake was our wedding bakery. We had our tasting meeting in their café and the cake was moist and flavorful. The most difficult part was narrowing it down. We decided on carrot cake with cream cheese, dark chocolate with raspberry, and vanilla with lemon.

    Having lived in three states together, we decided to model each of our three tiers after New Orleans, Boulder, and San Pedro. We provided a few photos, and let the experts work their magic. The cake was beautiful. They did a row of fleur de lis on top for Louisiana, a silhouette of the mountains and pine trees in the middle representing Colorado, and shells on the base for California.

    They used shades of ivory and beige which kept it classic and tied the different designs together. The muted colors also kept the design from looking busy. Our guests loved the concept and It’s All About the Cake completely nailed it. The cake was gorgeous and delicious. We were able to try a piece of each the next day that was saved for us. Thank you, It’s All About the Cake!

    It's All About The Cake's reply:

    Adriana,

    It was a pleasure to design your wedding cake for your special day! Your cake really was a work of art that shared your unique love story. We are so happy you and your new Husband enjoyed everything about it. Please come back for your complimentary anniversary cake next year. Thank you!

    We had a wonderful experience with this company! They were super responsive on email and were able to accommodate my request for a three tier cake for a small 14 person wedding (we had a lot leftover!). We also had a guest with a gluten allergy, so it was great that there were gluten-free cupcake options. The cake was spectacular, exactly like the picture I sent to them. My guests were raving about how moist the cake was, and the lemon and raspberry flavors were so fresh! It was one of my favorite parts of the wedding, and although it was a bit expensive, the cake cutting and leftovers for the next week were well worth it!! The cake looked phenomenal in photos, I would highly recommend having one and using this amazing bakery!

    Not only did we love the look of our wedding cake, but our guests COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! It was truly DIVINE!

    We did alternating tiers of white cake with lemon curd filling and a spice cake with traditional cream cheese filling, both with a buttercream frosting and intricate design.

    They are awesome -- from the tasting we initially had at their bakery/restaurant (What a Dish!) in Dana Point to the final product that was delivered to our wedding venue.

    They also offer a tier for your anniversary and trust us, we cannot wait to see them again in a year to celebrate again!

    There's a reason they have so many fantastic reviews, they're FANTASTIC! They delivered our delicious cake before the scheduled delivery time (early is always good!), it was exactly what we ordered, and their communication was excellent. Highly recommend!
